Song Yanyin could only nod helplessly. He looked at Rong Xi's departing back, his heart filled with bitterness.
So soon? Is the wife going to have a husband so soon?
After Rong Xi left, a group of men surrounded him. They were like a group of cats that smelled blood. With curiosity and inquiry in their eyes, they asked Song Yanyin about Rong Xi and his identity.
When they learned from others that Song Yanyin was just a child husband, their attitude became much more arrogant.
"I didn't expect that a child husband could come to such a large banquet." A gorgeously dressed man said contemptuously, his eyes full of disdain.
"Who knows, he might have used some tricks to seduce Miss Jiang. Look at his coquettish appearance. I heard that he even upset Miss Jiang a few days ago and was beaten up all over."
Another man echoed this, a gloating expression on his face.
"He looks so cold and quiet, but I didn't expect him to be such a person." Another man said, his words full of sarcasm.
These words were like sharp knives, stabbing straight at Song Yanyin, very harsh.
Their voices were loud enough for everyone around them to hear, so Song Yanyin could naturally hear them clearly as well.
He knew very well that his identity was not valued by others, so it was inevitable that people would use it to make trouble.
He thought that this group of people would target him, bully him, and belittle him. He had already thought about how to fight back, but he didn't expect that it would be another man who would be in this situation.
He was humiliated and thrown to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Behind him, two people clamped him tightly like an iron clamp, the force so strong that he couldn't move at all.
His eyes were filled with fear and helplessness, and cold sweat from his forehead slid down his cheeks.
Song Yan watched everything that was happening over there. Although he didn't know this person, he could tell at a glance from his gorgeous and exquisite clothes that he was from a wealthy or noble family.
And in the direction where he was kneeling, sat a woman with a cold expression.
She sat there quietly, her posture upright and her temperament elegant, suggesting she was a person of noble status. When she raised her eyes slightly and glanced around, there was always a look of disdain in her eyes, as if no one in the world was worthy of her attention.
Her clothes today were quite eye-catching. The hem of her skirt was wet in large areas, and the wet marks were obviously the flaw of her outfit today. There were also many unknown stains on other parts of her clothes.
Even from a distance, one could faintly smell the pungent smell of alcohol.
"Miss Xiao, it's my fault. I didn't hold the wine glass properly. I shouldn't have come to disturb you. Please let me go." The man's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of pleading.
The woman did not speak, but a maid beside her spoke instead.
"My daughter just warned you not to disturb me, but you kept coming forward. Now you realize your mistake. Do you know how rare this dress of my daughter's is? It was specially made by a skilled embroiderer in Shangjing. It is extremely precious."
Looking at the maidservant beside her, everyone guessed her identity.
In the entire Dongchang County, there are only a handful of unmarried girls who can afford to have a maid.
The little girl from the Jiang family was a bad-tempered and illiterate girl.
The other one has a grudge against the Lin family, so naturally he won't be present. The feud between the two families is well known in the city.
Needless to say, the remaining one is Xiao Qingyue, the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family. She is famous for her strength and nobility.
The man on the ground looked genuinely frightened, his body trembling non-stop. Many people around him pointed at him and whispered about him.
He looked panicked. If today's incident became known, how would he ever get married? In a place where reputation was so important, such a scandal would be enough to ruin his life.
"Miss Xiao, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me for the sake of our acquaintance." The man's voice was already filled with tears.
"I'll spare you. Who do you think you are? Don't think I don't know why you came to see me. With your looks, you're not even worthy of carrying my shoes."
Xiao Qingyue finally spoke, her tone cold and full of disdain.
When Rong Xi heard the noise here, he became anxious and hurried over.
She hurried along, her heart full of worry, afraid that Song Yanyin would be wronged here. When she rushed back, she saw that he was still sitting there, and no one around was bothering him, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yin'er, what happened?"
She leaned over and asked quietly, but before she got close to him, she saw him turn sideways, as if he didn't hear her. He neither answered her question nor looked her in the eye.
Perhaps the people around him were too engrossed in watching the fun, and the noise prevented him from hearing what she said.
She leaned closer again, raised her voice a little, and asked again.
Unexpectedly, Song Yanyin stood up directly, left their position without saying a word, and walked forward. His eyes had never stayed on her for a moment.
Are you angry? Oh! Jealous.
Rong Xi thought to herself, her expression becoming more vivid. She followed him again and stood behind him, "Yin'er, are you jealous?"
"What are you doing here, my wife? Shouldn't you be accompanying that cousin from the Liang family?" There was a hint of sourness in Song Yanyin's tone.
"It seems that he is really jealous. In fact, nothing happened between me and that cousin from the Liang family, and I didn't do anything inappropriate. He came to me because of other things." Rong Xi explained hurriedly.
They wanted to continue talking, but their attention was attracted by the two people over there.
"Xiao Qingyue, you'd better let me go, otherwise my mother won't let you go." The man shouted.
"Oh, she won't let me go. What will she do then? She will become my enemy and my entire Xiao family for a fool like you. Do you think too highly of yourself?" Xiao Qingyue sneered.
"Xiao Qingyue, do you still have any law? I just came here to talk to you, why are you so aggressive?"
The man's face was flushed, and there was anger and fear in his eyes.
"The law of the king, huh. I am a woman and I am respected. My status is enough for you. What can I do even if I kill you?" Xiao Qingyue responded domineeringly.
The more the two talked, the more outrageous their words became. Even Xiao Qingyue's maid stepped forward and slapped the man on the ground a few times because of his disrespect.
Rong Xi felt that Xiao Qingyue was making a big deal out of nothing and wanted to step forward to persuade her, but before she left, her parents-in-law repeatedly warned her not to cause trouble.
Song Yanyin was present when the mother-in-law and mother-in-law gave Rong Xi instructions, and also told him to persuade her if she encountered any problems. Now that he saw that his wife was showing signs of making a move, he didn't know whether he should persuade her or not.
